Hey there! Thanks for visiting my blog.  Let me honest with you, I have completely slacked with my blogs and feel like such a failure.  I have mentioned this before but I get super excited about doing something new and lose interest super quick.  WHY?  Because life gets busy, and I get too overwhelmed with stuff.  Unfortunately, the one thing that has got put on the back burner is my BLOG!  I promise I’ll do better, and share more helpful tips with you.

O.K. That is enough complaining now its times to get to work.  I have really been focused on my business the last 2 1/2 years.  It is something I really want to make a full time job and do my whole life.  Why not?  I get to workout everyday, eat (mostly) healthy, help other women feel amazing, and work on ME.  The number one excuse I hear when someone signs up to run their own business is “I don’t have enough time”. Um hello, We all have the same 24 hours in a day.  Somedays I wished I had more time because I don’t get much time to work on my business but with the time I do have I make it worth while.  So how do I do this all, keep a healthy and toned body, work a busy demanding job, have 2 kids, a husband, dog, chickens, and a house to take care of plus run a fitness and health business.  I HAVE A SCHEDULE!!

Every hour in my day is scheduled out, I wake up early and go to bed late knowing that the work I put in now will pay off in the end.  I wanted to share my tops tips on how I stay in shape and healthy, how I manage my job and business, take care of kids, a dog, and my husband, keep a clean house, and stay sane.

1. I schedule out my week every Sunday.  I write out my goals, and what I need to achieve them. (I have been slacking in this area)
2. Write out my meal plan for the week and cook what I can for my lunches and snacks.
3. Spend one day cleaning and laundry (I have an amazing mother in law that helps with this as well)
4. I followed a scheduled workout program and set out my workout clothes the night before.
5. My day starts at 4:45 a.m I have a schedule I follow every day and that is where the success kicks in.

Remember when you start something new it is going to feel uncomfortable, you are probably going to hate it, and give up a couple times before you get it down.  It takes time to make a habit, I have always been told it take 21 day to make or break a habit.  You have to give it time and see where it takes you.  I hated getting up at 5 am but I found myself scrambling to get all that I needed to get done in just one hour.  Being busy is going to be one of your biggest excuses, I have used it over and over trust me it didn’t get me anywhere.  My results for my business, physically and mentally suffered.  Just likes my blog, it didn’t get scheduled so it got put on the back burner.  Your health gets the blunt end of the deal as well, if you don’t schedule a workout 99% of the time you won’t do it, you won’t eat healthy if you don’t plan, prepare, and prep your food or even grocery shop for healthier options.  You’ll grab whats quick and your body hates it.  I want you to keep this in mind, I am just as busy as everyone else, my 35 lb weight loss transformation didn’t happen over night, eating clean whole healthy foods didn’t happen over night either, and I haven’t been successful in my business from doing nothing.  I put in the work daily, I fall on my face, I FAIL but that doesn’t stop me from living my dream life.  It took me time to learn the ropes, it hasn’t been pretty at times.  You can do anything you want to in life if you just believe in yourself and really focus on you and the outcome.

I always tell people “If I can do it, so can YOU” Thanks again for stopping by. You can follow me through social media to see what I am up to daily, and how I push through the EXCUSES!
